The Department of Transportation (DOTr) is studying plans for three additional high-capacity bus corridors in Metro Manila, intended to complement the existing EDSA Busway. Outlets report the proposed routes would run along C5, Quezon Avenue, and the Ortigas-Aurora area, expanding bus-based mass transit coverage beyond the current busway network.
Coverage agrees that the proposals are designed to improve public transport connectivity across the capital region. One report frames the overall effort as a “100-km busway boost,” indicating the combined length of the proposed corridors would exceed 100 kilometers. Other outlets emphasize the specific locations and the intent to build on the EDSA Busway’s role in serving large numbers of commuters daily.
While details such as timelines and exact route configurations are not provided in the excerpts, the reported common elements are the DOTr’s aim to add corridor-style busways on major thoroughfares and the expectation that they would strengthen links between key parts of Metro Manila.
